T FOR TESTOSTERONE


INTRODUCTION

Testosterone (T) is the primary male sex hormone. The brain signals to the
pituitary glands in the body, which then signal to the testes to produce
testosterone. The amount of testosterone in the blood is regulated through
something known as a “feedback loop”. When levels are too high, the brain sends
signals to the pituitary glands to reduce production.

Testosterone levels are impacted by a varying number of factors e.g. age - older
men are more likely to have a testosterone deficiency. The side effects of a
testosterone deficiency includes impaired sex drive, sperm production as well as
being at an increased risk of prostate cancer. Testosterone plays an important
role in the aforementioned factors along with growth in: muscle mass, bone
strength, reproductive organs and body/facial hair.

Your testosterone levels can be measured through blood tests. The standard unit
of measurement is nanograms per deciliter (abbreviated to ng/dL). The two main
biomarkers measured are total and free testosterone. Free testosterone is the
testosterone that is bioavailable in the blood. It is called ‘free’ because it
is not attached to one of two proteins; albumin and sex hormone-binding globulin
(SHBG).

The levels of testosterone can fluctuate (greatly) throughout the course of the
day. This is important to remember when getting testosterone levels measured.
Levels peak around 8am and drop off throughout the day. Levels are at their
lowest around 8pm but climb throughout the night.


THE PROBLEM

T levels are plummeting. We believe that the majority of men suffer from low T
around the world as a result from poor lifestyle choices. The majority of health
experts say that "300-1,200ng/dL" is a "normal" range for adult men. This is
because the "normal" adult man lives poorly. Realistically speaking, no man
between the ages of 18-30 should have T levels lower than 600 ng/dL. A study on
the generational decline in T levels in men by Travison et al. (2007)1 found
that the men aged 45-71 in 1987-1989 had around 501 ng/dL. A young man between
18-30 should not have lower T levels than a 45-71 year-old man. However, many
do.

Lokeshwar et al. (2020)2 conducted research indicating that men between the ages
of 15-39 between 1999-2000 had an average testosterone level of 605.39 ng/dL. In
2011-2012, this average was now at 424.96 ng/dL.

Testosterone levels have also declined generationally. A study by Rigshospitalet
Clinic3 on 5,000 Danish men found that men in 1960 has 17% lower testosterone
levels than men in 1920.

Another study by the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism (2007)1
found that a 65-year-old man in 2002 had testosterone levels 15% lower than a
65-year-old man in 1987.


THE SOLUTION

KeepMyT is a source of information geared towards helping men of all ages become
aware of the adverse effects of modern life on their T levels.

We answer the following questions:

 * Why are T levels shrinking?
 * How can I prevent further problems?
 * Which substances in particular are causing harm?
 * What supplements can be taken to help/increase T levels?
 * What foods to add/remove from your diet?
